Speaking with The Sodshow radio programme and podcast while in Cork, James Wong commented on UCC's MSc Organic Horticulture programme:
"What I think is really exciting about UCC is their background is a very scientific one and they do horticulture as well. It's a great place to get a really unbiased idea of horticulture. You get to see it through scientific eyes!"
"They've got some really cutting edge stuff as well: an MSc in Organic Horticulture which is one of the only, if not the only one, in Europe....looking at organics as a practical option for horticulture and agriculture. It's a really modern, cutting edge way of looking at things and I think it's probably one of the best place in the world to study it and it's right here on your doorstep."
